What would you learn if you could attend your own funeral? My Funeral takes that unsettling question and gives it a comic afterlife through Juanca, a ghost listening to the people gathered to remember him.

My Funeral movie details

Story without spoilers

Juanca is already dead, but that does not stop him from visiting his own funeral. Invisible to the living, he listens as people from his life talk about him and reveal a mixture of positive, negative and uncomfortable impressions.

What begins as an unusual opportunity to hear the truth becomes a final attempt at personal repair. From the afterlife, Juanca tries to address the consequences of his past and leave behind a better memory than the one taking shape around his funeral.

What to expect

My Funeral is a short comedy with a supernatural premise and a reflective central question: how well do we really know the legacy we leave behind? Its 14-minute runtime points to a compact story built around Juanca’s unusual perspective, the conversations at his funeral and his effort to clean up his reputation after death.

The premise allows for humor alongside uncomfortable discoveries, as Juanca encounters both kind words and truths he would prefer not to hear. The film’s focus is its ghostly point of view and the comic tension created by a character who can listen to everyone but must confront what those people truly think.
